In today’s world, it’s critical that job-seeking attorneys manage their online presence carefully to minimize the negative and maximize the positive. An online presence that reflects poorly on the attorney (i.e., nasty, public insults) could lead to a number of lost opportunities, while an online presence that reflects well on the attorney (i.e., they have a following due to regular blog posting about the law) could help them compete with attorneys who may have a superior application....

An uncertain, shaky economy can pose new challenges for attorneys looking to make a career transition — generally speaking, they must have a more competitive application than they would otherwise require in a healthier economy (and the attorney-candidate must perform extremely well during the interview). Maximizing one’s hireability can be a difficult process, especially if you haven’t explored the job market in a few years and aren’t quite sure how to build yourself up as a competitive attorney applicant, let alone better than the “norm.”...

Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, companies have now largely moved to virtual interviews to evaluate candidates — and this is true of the legal industry, too. Virtual attorney interviews are largely the same as in-person interviews, but the “virtual” nature of these interviews means that there’s a number of additional considerations that you’ll want to keep in mind so as to leave them with a good impression....

Just getting started with the job search process and feeling a bit anxious? Completely understandable. Perhaps you haven’t had to search for a new job in a while, and don’t quite remember all the "do’s and don’ts” of hiring. This anxiety can be further compounded by the fact that hiring trends shift frequently. The legal industry, especially, has been changing quite rapidly, becoming much more casual and informal than it used to be (though arguably still more conservative than most other industries)....

Coronavirus has brought some industries to a screeching halt, but the legal industry (though seriously impacted) seems poised to survive and potentially thrive. Firms — normally seen as risk averse and traditional — are being forced to change in real-time, and are shifting their perspective on how to structure their workforce and operational processes. For attorneys looking to grow their career after the coronavirus pandemic ends, the state of the industry can be confusing. ...

If you’re re-entering the legal job market and are looking to explore new career opportunities in California — whether at a law firm or in an in-house legal department — then chances are that you’ll come across online reviews of the workplace. It’s worth noting that online reviews can either resolve the half-stereotypes and unsubstantiated rumors that often floated around the legal market in the past, or in some cases affirm those beliefs. ...

If you’re an introverted attorney interested in exploring the legal job market for new opportunities, whether in the Biglaw or in-house space, then you may be feeling somewhat anxious about the possibility of another set of high-stakes interviews. Interviews often feel inauthentic and artificial to introverts, who do not necessarily have the same capacity for socially “presenting” as extroverts. This can have a negative impact on their ability to secure positions for which they’re well-qualified....

If you are a woman and/or BIPOC re-entering the legal job market and are exploring new opportunities at Biglaw firms or in-house departments, then you may be wondering about diversity and inclusion — lofty concepts, to be sure, but critical to satisfaction and career success in the long-term. Let’s take a closer look. Diversity vs. Inclusion Diversity and inclusion are not the same concept, though they are linked....

Recently, a massive survey was conducted in which researchers evaluated associate and partnership relationships at the intergenerational level. The survey gathered data from more than 2,400 partners and associates at various high-end Biglaw and boutique law firms throughout the country. The results from this survey are quite unexpected, and should shake firms out of complacency with respect to their hiring practices and their attorney-development implementations. [ 845 more words ]

We are currently in the midst of an unprecedented event for the modern era — a pandemic with lasting global implications for the economy. Coronavirus (a.k.a. COVID-19) has brought the world to a standstill and has fundamentally changed the landscape of work for the foreseeable future, including that of the legal industry. Shelter-in-place orders have left the economy in tatters, and with the world now on-notice as to the dangers of coronavirus (and its potential for a return down the line, even after the infection curve is “flattened”), it appears that the economic consequences may be sufficiently significant to spark a long-term global recession.

If you’ve been contemplating a career move — whether to a new position at a firm or in-house legal department, or to an entirely different practice area/specialization — then you may be wondering where to begin. The prospect of re-entering the legal job market can be somewhat overwhelming. Interested attorney-candidates may not necessarily be equipped to secure ideal positions, and even if they are effective in securing such positions, it may turn out that the organizational culture is a poor fit for their personality.
